Youth Ministry Tips: Variety

Don't make every youth meeting "the same old thing!" Variety is he spice of life, especially with youth.

Here are some ideas for ways you can change things up a little bit!

1. Rearrange the chairs or layout every couple of weeks.
2. Rearrange your normal schedule for an event
3. Involve someone else
4. Use a different medium of communication- i.e. if you always use OHP try PPT, Flip Charts, Posters, Signs, etc to make your key points
5. Add music, video, or other multimedia
6. Change the location - i.e. do a Bible study on the feeding of the 5000 sitting in a field.
7. Change the Decor - decorate the room like a football pep rally for a lesson on teamwork!
8. Change your wardrobe - come to youth meeting in a hawaiian shirt, football uniform, dressed up as a Bible character
9. Add Props - add a slingshot for a story on David and Goliath, add a ram's horn Shofar for a story about the walls of Jericho
10. Add a game
11. Use teams
12. Use Drama
